NIKON D70 - USING THE BUILT-IN FLASH ALONE AND IN WIRELESS MODE WITH SB-800 FLASH UNITS

Short Description
The purpose of this presentation is hopefully to assist D70 owners in understanding and using the D70, and its internal flash, alone, and also with remote Nikon flashes. It is assumed that readers are familiar with the menu system of the D70 to customize settings, and perform basic camera settings. If you are not, details are presented on (pg 12) of the D70 manual. You must be familiar with the (relatively simple) protocols to navigate around the D70 LCD menu.

The Nikon D70 is an exceptional camera. And this also carries over into the built-in flash unit, as well as the SB-800. Unfortunately, the documentation in the D70 manual for the internal flash must have been written by the same person who wrote the manual for the new Nikon SB-800 flash. There is a tremendous amount of material. But, it is so arcane and poorly organized and presented, that it is extremely difficult to understand and use.
The SB-600 is a lower cost version of the SB-800. It has a lower guide number, and cannot be used as an on-camera “Commander” in multiple wireless situations. Wherever there is a reference below to the SB800, the SB-600 can also be used, as in this tutorial, the only Commander is the D70 flash.
This material was assembled and created after reading the D70 and SB-800 manuals (several times), and searching the Internet for material on this matter, as well as “playing” with my equipment. I deemed it necessary to confirm some of the steps by taking test shots. I found lots of material on the Internet, much of it conflicting. The presentation below is not as detailed as the manuals, and is limited to the most important elements. Where the main information below discusses the detailed steps to access camera and flash settings, you may also see a page number referring you to the D70 manual in (blue). The pages noted will allow you to read additional details that may not have been presented here.
